Prague is small city.... Most of the places in one area... New town is tourist spot and good for a walk... It is close to old town.. In old town there are more places to visit then new town... But both new town and old town is nearby... So you can cover both in 2 hours or you can hire...

New Town is the modern enclave of Prague, but its foundation is actually created by King Charles IV. It expands the old city of Prague outwards and today is the commercial centre of Prague. It actually stretches from one side of Old Town to the other like a horse-shaped enclosure with the river at the top.
Some pretty significant landmarks...

There is no wall or fence up separating old town from new town. It is manly a description or area of the larger city, Prague. Everything is blended together, so if you are walking from Old Town Square to Wencelas Square, what difference does it make if you are in old or new town. Just make a list of the...

New Town is situated Southwest of the Old Town, and is also the centre for Prague's administrative, and commercial activities. At the heart of New Town is 'Wencestas Square,' which provides a good area of modern shops, restaurants, and cafes. The area is also served well by all metro lines: A, B and C.

If you're staying more than two days in Prague I would recommend to take a stroll around the not-so-new but still newer than an Old Town part of the city. Prices vary quite significantly from what you'll get in the strict center so it's a good idea to stop there for a lunch or a dinner and then head to...

High end retail stores with prices to match. Worth a stroll down the pretty tree lined streets and designer shops. It's quite a nice stroll on a nice day and if you've got cash to burn then you're sure to find something to put out the fire.

As much as I enjoy the beautiful Old Town is really enjoy going to Nove Mesto ( New Town ).
There is just so much here including the famous Wenceslas Square and the architecture ranges from the Baroque to the eclectic,I am thinking of building such as the Fred & Ginger House and Goethe Institute.
Nightlife wise there is something...

This part of the town was new when it was first constructed. But that was way back in the 14th century. So don't get in here expecting a Manhattan kind of experience. It is, and will remain a great look and feel kinda European town.
the Charles and the Wenceslas squares form the bulk of the new Town. the dancing...

Staying in Nove Mesto (New Town)

Neighborhood Profile

Nove Mesto (New Town)

Nearly 700 hundred meters long, Wenceslas Square represents the most frequent and buzzing crossroads of the city. The National Museum in the upper part of the square watches over your spending spree in countless shops and retail stores lining the entire square, which ends at Na Příkopě, the most famous shopping street. When tired or broke, you can explore the city's underpasses, which can take you to the Old Town or to the courtyards of art nouveau houses with secret gems of greenery, white benches and rose bushes that provide unexpected peace in the midst of the city. Be sure to pay a visit to the traditional cafés, classic Czech pubs, cinemas and theaters. National Theater near the river has a lot to offer to foreigners. Go to the river bank and enjoy live music and drinks while watching a sunset behind Prague Castle.
